I've been knitting since August 2003, and it's become a major part of my life. Every day, I'm either buying or spinning more yarn, or knitting something for myself, my family or friends, or for charity. In 2009, I decided to try crochet again, after a 20 year hiatus. I'm loving both crafts now!

New Cedar Chest!

I am SO PLEASED to have a new cedar chest in my craft room. We found it on clearance at a local antique store for a great price. Yippee!!!

It looks like it has never been used. The original tag and large label are still attached from when it was made back in the 50's or 60's. Nice!

Here's how it looks when it's opened:

The label still attached:

And the tag, stil hanging by it's original string, hooked at the front of the chest.

The inside of the chest smells WONDERFUL, and will make a perfect home for my nice yarns and handknit wools. Yay for me!
